“Count!” Emperor Feng Xuan passed down orders to the guards below.
In the outer circle of the open fields, a pile of prey was piled up. Each group’s prey were placed in their corresponding places. The specialized guard would count and record it down, then the Emperor will announce whoever got first place. Many people hoped to get first place.
Lan You Nian sat in her seat looking over the piles of bloody prey. Many of the females didn’t dare to look, many more paled with just one glance. Even more teared up saying, “How can they be so cruel? These little animals are so adorable!” An Si Yan was that type of female. An Si Yan has been spoiled in An manor. Not to mention hunting, she can’t even ride a horse. Now seeing pile after pile of dead prey, she became even more white lotus.
Hua Mu Qing was a group with Lan Mo Xian and He Chu Yang. Hua Mu Qing was bored where she sat with those superficial women, so Hua Mu Qing scooted over to Lan You Nian’s seat.
Lan You Nian glanced over Hua Mu Qing. Her clean riding attire had some scratches from tree branches. There was also fresh blood on the clothes. It made Hua Mu Qing’s already heroic cheeks even more dazzling.
“Are you hurt?” Lan You Nian asked with concern. Hua Mu Qing’s martial arts wasn’t that good, and the forest wasn’t a safe place.
Hua Mu Qing carelessly shook her head. Sometimes she felt Lan You Nian was like a soft little sister, but on important matters, Hua Mu Qing was reliant on this little sister. It was a strange feeling, but it made Hua Mu Qing appreciate this friendship.
“Not injured!” Hua Mu Qing also noted the blood on herself, “These bloodstains were accidentally caused by Princess Qian Ling when she fought over the prey. It’s not mine!”
“There was a conflict?” Lan You Nian asked. Though Hua Mu Qing was slightly hot-tempered, she knew better than to provoke some things. From the looks of it, this was schemed by that Yue Qian Ling. Lan You Nian glanced at Yue Qian Ling’s seating.
Because Yue Bai Lian didn’t participate, so Yue Qian Ling attended instead. The team that Yue Qian Ling chose was second wangye Feng Shao Chu’s team. Lan You Nian sighed, indeed, rat and snake in the same nest, scum with scum were attracted to one another.
“Hmph! Still a princess of a country!” Hua Mu Qing ranted, tattle-telling to Lan You Nian, “The prey was shot down by Mo Xian. That Princess Qian Ling actually argued unreasonably that the prey was shot by them then stole our prey. I couldn’t stand it, so I fought with Princess Qian Ling!”
Lan You Nian pushed the tea on the table towards the thirsty Hua Mu Qing, softly asking, “Then the prey ended up with Feng Shao Chu’s team?”
“Nian’er meimei, how do you know?” Hua Mu Qing cupped the cup in her hands with admiration as she asked. Nothing seemed to be hidden from Nian’er meimei. Hua Mu Qing thought that after she married Lan Mo Xian, she can play together with Nian’er meimei all the time and felt happy inside. If Lan Mo Xian knew, who knew how jealous he would be. Him this future husband can’t even compare to his little sister’s status.
Lan You Nian giggled, “With Mu Qing jiejie’s temper, you will definitely fight to take back the prey…” Lan You Nian didn’t finish her words, Hua Mu Qing continued, “Of course! This junzhu hates those low-lives the most!”
“But older brother has more considerations. No matter what, Feng Shao Chu is a wangye. To oppose him directly, you won’t gain anything. Though Mu Qing jiejie wants to take the prey back, if older brother convinces you, you will definitely concede.” Lan You Nian looked at Feng Shao Chu’s arrogant look, her eyes cold.
“Nian’er meimei is right! If it Lan Mo Xian didn’t stop me, hmph! See if this junzhu doesn’t beat up that Princess Qian Ling!” Hua Mu Qing raised her fists at Yue Qian Ling, the threatening intention was obvious.
Yue Qian Ling sneered at Hua Mu Qing with provocation. The two both knew some martial arts. Neither of their tempers were very good. But what was different was that although Hua Mu Qing has a violent temper, she knew not to overstep her bounds. Yue Qian Ling was a plain vicious woman.
Emperor Feng Xuan sat in the top seat looking over the results the eunuch presented to him, his expression was very good.
“This time hunting, everyone is outstanding! It really is heroes are born of youths!” Emperor Feng Xuan spoke in a dignified manner, then said, “First place is laosi’s team which caught the most prey! Haha!” Feng Xuan looked at his favorite two sons, nodded with satisfaction. Anyone can tell His Majesty’s different treatment of fourth wangye.
(T/N: laosi-“old four”, familiar moniker for one ranked fourth, in this case, FXQ is the fourth son)
Proudly praising his own son, His Majesty Feng Xuan continued, “Second place is Hua country’s Crown Prince’s team. Crown Prince of Hua is heroic and brave! His Majesty of Hua is fortunate to have such a son!” His Majesty Feng Xuan also praised Hua Xiu Yi. In Emperor Feng Xuan’s opinion, Hua Xiu Yi was a good Crown Prince. He would become a qualified ruler.
“Thank His Majesty of Feng’s praise!” Crown Prince of Hua rose and bowed. Though he seemed unrestrained, his etiquette was proper, not an extremely arrogant person.
“This third place is laoer’s team, not bad either. But compared to Crown Prince of Hua, it is not as good!” Emperor Feng Xuan chuckled. His words were merely the truth. There wasn’t much difference in the amount of prey between Feng Xia Qi’s team and Hua Xiu Yi’s team. When compared to Hua Xiu Yi, Feng Shao Chu was severely lacking.
Feng Shao Chu deliberately nodded respectfully, but the hand on the table already curled into a tight fist. Imperial Father is always like this. No matter what he did, he didn’t receive Imperial Father’s praise. Imperial Father’s eyes only had laosi and laoliu. When he ascends the throne, the first he’ll remove is laosi and laoliu. Let’s see how Imperial Father will spoil them!
